Welp, newspapers have written extensively about the new plans and strategy of our government to open up the economy.
It all started when our failing health minister told everyone that even if recent pilots with reopening events were succesful it would not mean they would open up again.
Next, the government said that they thought it was unlikely we would have sports events with audiences this year or that any restrictions would be lifted in the near future.

The experts have told them a 3rd wave is coming, and possibly a 4th wave and a 5th wave and.... because of the mutations.
And that the chances that mass vaccination will end the pandemic this year are slim and that testing for contact tracing and/or isolating cases is next to useless.

So the plan is to use the one thing that is 'still' cheap and available to open up the economy: tests. Our government is stocking up not just on vaccines but on millions and millions of tests.
Under new legislation you would receive a permit if you test negative. That permit would allow you to enter universities, offices, restaurants, shops, theatres, events etc. for up to 48 hours.
Basically if you want to do something during the weekends you would need to get a test every week. Although they might limit the number of permits to control the size of crowds and gatherings.
They're currently talking to business and industrial leaders who will need to enforce this. If the ruling parties win the elections than the plan is to implement this between April and June.

What they haven't figured out yet is how to handle the costs. Currently if you want to take a flight you need to do a test that costs $200 out of your own pocket.
They're probably looking to make a deal with business leaders to split the costs as they desperately want and need the economy to reopen.

Respirators used by the public still illegal there?

Just heard on the radio while driving that there's cases in northern Italy now.

This thing is spreading fast. Now is the time to invest in companies making those mobile incinerators  :success

A year ago today, we were worried that cases existed in China, Iran, a cruise ship, and now Italy

This is what normal people do

Quote
I literally can’t even bring it up in the office, even though you hear rows upon rows of people coughing their lungs out and have been doing so for a week (not even calling off and using their pto, selfish bastards).

When I bring up how I have already started preparing for the virus with stock piling n95 masks and bulk rice and other non perishable foods they look at me like I need to go to the psych ward and either laugh at me or call me fear mongering.

They refuse to look at what’s going on in the rest of the world and literally think they live in an isolated island and nothing could ever had happen to their loved ones or their community.

I understand that you still need to live you life. But at the same time being informed and being prepared is only a positive not a negative. Hell, people put spare tires in their trunks of their cars. Not because they expect a flat tire that day/week/month but because it’s smart to be prepared in case you do get a flat.

Meanwhile, I say I buy masks and buy reserved food and I’m crazy. What the hell man.

At least the soul of the nation was saved.

In other news some high profile people like bankers and university professors had launched a campaign called "Herstel NL" or "Restore the Netherlands".
Their aim was to bring forward alternative ideas to deal with COVID mostly economically.
Now in dystopian scenes most of them posted the same message quitting the campaign after pressure from the government to suspend the campaign until after the elections.





The ruling parties are scared shitless of something and telling all the elitists to fall in line  :doge

Meanwhile newspapers are starting to write about people from the first wave who are still dealing with the effects.
Recovery is slowly and sometimes non existent. Former mlitary people, ship builders etc. 30 - 50 years old. 
Some are afraid to sleep thinking they will die.

Two elderly people in a Queensland aged care home have been given four times the amount of the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine, Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt has confirmed.

An 88-year-old man and a 94-year-old woman were given the doses yesterday. 

Mr Hunt said both patients, from the Holy Spirit facility in Carseldine, were being monitored and neither had shown any signs of an adverse reaction to the doses.
Pretty sure we just created geriatric super soldiers. More to follow.

Got my 1st dose of Moderna vaccine this past Monday.  Arm was sore as shit for 24 hours or so, then as that began dissipating I got a shitty headache and low fever for a few hours (highest temp I recorded it hitting was 99.7).

2nd dose probably going to be a doozy  :-\

The 2nd shot was worse for me. My arm hurt for about three days, but I had the worst sleep the day of. High fever, headache, and general body pain. It only lasted the night though, so it wasn't that bad.

My county just announced easing of restrictions for mask usage contrary to all fucking logic and sense. California is really all over the place with shitty hot takes lately in regards to Covid. So now masks aren’t necessary at all outside for all gatherings... Encouraging socialization indirectly with this newest easing. Are we doomed to keep making the same fucking stupid mistakes each time we get even a sliver of a break from this shit?!

The mentally challenged keep winning this war I swear. Enjoy your stupid prize mf’ers!

Japan is unusual. In looking up stats Japan's death rate for 2020 lowered for the first time in a decade, while in late last year the monthly suicide rate was its highest in five years and at that time accounted for more deaths in one month than Covid victims for the year.

Then you look at stats for this year and by far most of the total deaths occurred in just these last months (seeing a rise beginning in December), presumably spurred by the holiday season? Idk what else changed.

I'm no expert but I'd imagine - social isolation, their work culture, heavy expectancy to fit in, stigmatization of mental health issues and a lack of mental health resources, a cultural history with committing suicide when you 'lose face' or fail your family...

This is why we're in this lockdown bullshit in the first place. To test and protect vulnerable people.

Yesterday I got a frantic call from my health provider asking if I could drop everything and go to one of their vaccination sites since they had a bunch of no shows. I got there gave them my info and then they asked why I was at their site. Explaining the phone call and showing them the number that called (their number) they told me they didn’t have any shots for non appointment patients. I was left confused about why I’d get called from them to come when they didn’t have it available to give. They just left it there and didn’t question why or who was fucking up that bad. I wasn’t the only one in line that had the same experience. There was around 30 of us there, we were all told the same thing and that they had over 100 appointment no shows. I got there in less than 10 minutes too.

A year ago.

In the long run, the likelihood of contracting it is probably 1. The virus will most likely sweep the globe long before a vaccine is ready, which will take several more months. Some carriers have been unknowingly walking around with it for weeks, infecting many more (because for some there are no symptoms and for those who experience symptoms, the disease becomes infectious before they do).

China fucked it up when they kept quiet about it in December and instead punished the messenger.

Did my regular grocery shopping tonight. Either the supply chain has already been severely affected, or people are really starting to panic buy stuff. Apparently toilet paper is already scarce.

I grabbed a couple of extra tins of tuna and beans and an extra bag of frozen vegetables. Will grab another couple extra things next time, but I don't see the need to grab 20kg bags of rice and shit that I don't normally eat. That's just a good way to end up with stuff that you will never eat.
